Joseph L.
Abraham

Joseph (Joe Magic) Abraham passed away suddenly on November 15, 2016. He was born September 6, 1953 to Agnes and Abe Abraham who have preceded him in death. Joe graduated from Firestone High School and served in the U.S. Army. He was employed by Hygenic Corporation for 28 years then the Akron public school system until he retired in 2015. Joe's favorite passion was magic. He was a member of the Akron Magical Arts Society and the International Brotherhood of Magicians. He generously donated much of his time at Children's Hospital and homes for the aged, performing his magic and card tricks to entertain those who needed cheering up. Joe is survived by his sisters, Barbara (Lee) Buchwalter, Rosalee (Greg) Byles and brother, Ron Abraham; nieces, Lori Buckwalter-Honetor, Christy Washer; nephew, Bryan (Carol) Buchwalter and Steve Wallace; great-nieces, Anna and Siarrah.

The Akron Magical Arts Society will perform the "The Broken Wand Ceremony" followed by a memorial service. A celebration of life gathering will be held at the Carovillese Club (across from Dontino's), 570 E. Cuyahoga Falls Ave., immediately following the calling hours.
